Covid19 in India is a watershed event on many fronts.

For stand alone private doctors it will mark an end of support by government, administrators and most importantly society.

Governments (politicians) have always been reluctant to engage doctors.

Administrators as usual have been focussed on power in their hands. We all have seen their "achievements" in last 6 months.

Clueless politicians led by hand by administrators who have neither experience of dealing with challenge of this size nor willingness to engage good professionals outside medical colleges as advisors.

That's summing up of handling of pandemic.

This is neither new nor surprising for medical practitioners.

What is shocking is public's hurry to dump their doctors at call of politicians.

Lot of introspection is due at individual level (medical community doesn't think as one in India)
